1. Starve Your Fears

Just about everyone can agree that fear is often based on irrational evidence.  Many of the things that frighten us have and never will come to pass.  Yet, why is it we still continue to feel this undesirable emotion. I’ll tell you why. It’s because we allow ourselves to.  

Our mind does not know any better and will feel any emotion we allow it to.  The best method I know of on how to conquer fear of public speaking is to starve the bad habit of fear (yes, feeling fear is a bad habit).  A habit that is unfed cannot survive.  

Or, better yet, replace it with a new emotion such as courage or excitement.

2. Video-Record Yourself

The next time you’re preparing for your speech, dust off your video recorder and videotape yourself delivering your speech. This works well on so many levels.  Not only will you get comfortable watching yourself speak, you’ll also notice any flaws you have that you can start to correct.  

You’ll likely feel better too because you’ll realize you’re not that bad!

3. Split Your Speech Into Bite-Sized Chunks

When given the task of speaking for 30 minutes, you may start to feel overwhelmed; thinking there’s no way you could fill that much time.  Therefore, it’s often helpful to split up your speech into bite-sized chunks of 5-10 minutes.  Doesn’t talking for 5 minutes on six main points seem easier to handle than one 30 minute block?

With these three keys in mind, you should now have a better idea of how to conquer public speaking fear.  If you’d like to learn how to eliminate your fears forever and also develop the ability to really captivate your audiences, we highly recommend you invest in a public speaking training course.
